Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses. According to some embodiments of the disclosure, a method includes: receiving, at a communication device, a configuration message including a threshold to configure the communication device; and transmitting, from the communication device, a congestion indication if an occupied buffer size of the communication device is equal to or greater than the threshold.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- transmitting, from the UE to at least one of a base station and a parent node of the UE and during a setup procedure of the UE, a total buffer size of the UE, wherein the total buffer size of the UE is included in a capability information element for the UE;
- receiving, from the at least one of the base station and the parent node, a configuration message including a threshold to configure the UE;
- and
- transmitting, from the UE, a congestion indication if an occupied buffer size of the UE is equal to or greater than the threshold, wherein the congestion indication is transmitted via a message in an adaptation layer, the adaptation layer being configured by a central unit of the base station.
A method at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a second device and during a setup procedure of the second device, a total buffer size of the second device of the second device, wherein the total buffer size of the second device is included in a capability information element for the UE;
- transmitting, to the second device, a configuration message including a threshold to configure a second device;
- and
- receiving, from the second device, a congestion indication via a message in an adaptation layer, the adaptation layer being configured by a central unit of a base station.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- transmit, from the UE to at least one of a base station and a parent node of the UE and during a setup procedure of the UE, a total buffer size of the UE, wherein the total buffer size of the UE is included in a capability information element for the UE;
- receive, from the at least one of the base station and the parent node, a configuration message including a threshold to configure the UE;
- and
- transmit a congestion indication if an occupied buffer size of the UE is equal to or greater than the threshold, wherein the congestion indication is transmitted via a message in an adaptation layer, the adaptation layer being configured by a central unit of the base station.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive, from a second device and during a setup procedure of the second device, a total buffer size of the second device of the second device, wherein the total buffer size of the second device is included in a capability information element for the UE;
- transmit, to the second device, a configuration message including a threshold to configure a second device;
- and
- receive, from the second device, a congestion indication via a message in an adaptation layer, the adaptation layer being configured by a central unit of a base station.
